"SNIP...........



Donald Trump’s “long-time but informal adviser” Roger Stone says the Secretary of State job was dangled in front of Mitt Romney in order to “torture” him for previously opposing the president-elect, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Stone: “To toy with him. And given the history, that’s completely understandable. Mitt Romney crossed a line. He didn’t just oppose Trump, which is his democratic right, he called him a phony and a fraud. And a con man. And that’s not the kind of man you want as Secretary of State.”

1. and Mitt was just telling the truth

can't have that type of man in the Trump cabinet


What a petty asshole

2. Well, I think Romney is more connected than Trump thinks.

Engaging in this kind of petty vindictiveness is childish enough on its face, but it's also monumentally stupid. I'm no Romney fan, but I think he does have influence and Trump will regret being so churlish.

3. Everyone knew it but Mitt.

The same for Al Gore.

Both were being played.

4. Despicable as he is, Roger Stone's not lying here.

It takes a scumbag to know a scumbag, and this pretty much nails it.

5. Of course he was.

I said that as soon as this happened.

Amazing how the shitgibbon is playing everyone.

6. if you inverse this statement

Calling someone a conman and fraud is not a "democratic right". Goodbye freedom of speech.

7. I knew Romney was being played because Romney isn't pro-Putin

The POS does not want anyone who has been vocally anti-Russia as SOS. Romney hasn't done enough deals with Putin to satisfy Dumpster

8. Is he also going to play this game with world politics?

It's a good way to start a war.

9. Romney sort of deserves it for reaching for the carrot

from the psycho in the first place
